Digital Age: The Dangers of Disinformation and Deepfakes | Kigali Global Dialogue 2023

Kigali Global Dialogue 2023 | An Insecure World: Digital Disruptions

Meeting economic imperatives is increasingly contingent on managing, regulating, and moderating the digital sphere. While digital transformations pose solutions to many pressing challenges, they also pose the threat of aggravating inequities, instigating instability, and deepening polarisation. Moreover, a handful of big tech companies are amassing power and extending their influence across boundaries.

How can countries build and support digital ecosystems that respond to their own needs and ambitions? How can countries support a digital ecosystem that adequately addresses the cyber-security risks that threaten entire economic systems? Simultaneously, how can countries adequately manage the influence of supra-national tech companies?
